We have an administration that smuggled guns in to a foreign country, the action of which caused untold hundreds of deaths among all age groups, resulted in the murder of a U.S. federal agent, and they are sweeping it under the rug with the willing cooperation of the mass media.

I seethed with a buring sense of injustice when the U.S. Attorney General made it a point to come to and speak at the funeral this year for one of my fallen comrades here (from an incident that I responded to), and yet he certainly would not do the same for Brian Terry or his family.

How is it that people actually believe the government that brought you the Post Office is somehow also capable of pulling off super secret assassinations on U.S. soil?

Seriously, not picking, I just really never got the dissonance there. Do you think there’s a branch of government that isn’t both inept and corrupt, or alternately, frighteningly competent and willing to sell their mother for a book deal (cough…SEALs…cough)?

I’m glad that you had more detail on what happend, as the all the local reports I’ve read hinted towards suicide. They would only ever say, “treated as a homicide for now”, “found alone with a single gunshot wound to the head and multiple firearms strewn around”. Comments like that leave a very different impression than, bound to chair with single wound to back of the head.

His “business partner” being found probably-murdered and not by thieves (who would have taken the “numerous guns” found in the area by police) does not tell me “the Government is trying to take our guns and starting by murdering hte business partner of a notionally popular YouTube channel about guns!”.

It suggests to me, “the business partner was involved in something extremely shady involving very bad people“.

The sort of people who tie you up and shoot you in the back of the head* for crossing them.

(The government, in the worst case, is more likely to “randomly” decide to audit your taxes.

Or get an “anonymous tip” about a firearms violation and come search your house with a SWAT team.

Mob-style executions*? Not buying it, for total lack of evidence and their general incompetence – plus if the State was willing to do that to its enemies, why are all its serious detractors not dead?

This guy is a nobody in that calculus; a business partner of a YouTube channel about shitty gun handling?)

* Assuming the description of the death is accurate, and not invented detail; the other reports don’t seem to say that. I do not automatically trust “someone named Julie from some forum saying it’s totes true”.
